The Popular Podcast After struggling for months to find the perfect ecommerce system for selling premium content, we have finally found it with the WordPress plugin EasyPayPal. Now all of our premium content resides on thepopularpodcast.com (not on a separate site). All you have to do to see it is register as a member! Sadly, we're interrupted by a quicktime glitch.

The Popular Podcast We had to pitch the whole "overriding your pretentious reality version" slogan in favor of something much more concise: lifefucking. We talk about our brainstorming sessions and how useful they are, especially combined with exercise! What are your brainstorms like? We'd love to see your notebooks or videos.

it is a fine line.i think, between sophistication and pretension.

i understand what you mean you say "overridding.." is more classic. more classy. more academic. more high minded.

i agree.... Read More

where as i feel like lifefucking may a little bit too far on the other end of the spectrum.

i do like it better than "overriding.." because "overriding" felt forced. it felt like we were trying to be something that we are not.

it doesn't really roll off the tongue either.

The topic of sophistication, or perceived legitimacy, of the phrase has been one of, if not heated, then certainly intense discussion, because we realize that we need it to be more than just some slap-stick bullshit. It has to have meaning and it has to make sense.

What is interesting to me about "lifefucking" is that is a more concise representation of our concept.

It is also a novel concept.

Its not lifestreaming, its not lifehacking, its a mindfuck for your lifestyle.

We just really wanted to use the word fuck.

That is a great argument & fuck is a fantastic word. Although, I think that "lifefucking" has a slight negative connotation. It reads like "fucking up your life" more so than a "mind-fuck of your lifestyle," as you so eloquently put it. To me, your videos seem like everyday reality, but quite interesting and entertaining. I suppose that is why I am drawn toward "overriding your reality." Perhaps I am reading too far into the slogans?

The Popular Podcast Jessica does a complete 180 on a major design/photography issue: SHAKE IT PHOTO IPHONE APP. Then Kelly instigates a confrontation with the backpack police at Book People in Austin, Texas.

The Popular Podcast We're planning a trip to the Bahamas now that Jessica got a sweet job in Second Life as a graduate research assistant. Trying unsuccessfully to sound smart, Jessica stumbles all over some business about a French author named Boudrieu. Also: we're on the hunt for the root of aquaphilia and Kelly is way funnier than Jessica in a "dry/mean" way.

The Popular Podcast Do you live in Austin and need a roommate? Our friend Roshan is visiting to check out places to live when he comes to grad school at UT in the fall. We have some dead air issues but at least we talk about teen sex and Twilight.

The Popular Podcast Today was free cupcake day at the new cupcake place downton, Delish. We try a vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream, and a chocolate cake with vanilla frosting. Verdict: a little dry and perhaps overly sweet, but still yummy enough for what we paid ;] Where do you find your favorite cupcakes?

The Popular Podcast We saw UP last night at the Drafthouse, which we HATED. But the customer service was incredible! What did you guys think of UP? We also talk about how our new content creation system in the premium area is fucking awesome.

The Popular Podcast What the hell do you do about the high fructose corn syrup situation in the US? Do we become vegetarians? We don't really get the corn politics but at least we know we don't want diabetes. Still, we can't afford grass fed and meat tastes good. In good news, our premium content stream is looking delicious!

The Popular Podcast relieved to be making time for more premium content posting!

The Popular Podcast

The Popular Podcast We've been brainstorming the whole day about how to make the premium content section better, so more people will sign up for it. Sound familiar? We go into a little to do list discussion and describe how one might pay us $7 to read a blog post about changing cat litter.
